Lion King DxD

thy Promised Victory

"Freed!"

Kokabiel called out the name of that shitty priest.

"What's up, Boss?"

A white haired boy priest emerged from the darkness. Seriously, where'd he disappear to all this time?

"Use the Excalibur in the circle. It shall be the last entertainment." Kokabiel ordered, "Kill them using the Excalibur that has turned into one from four Excaliburs."

--------------------------------------------------

Excalibur? Her Excalibur? Her precious and dear partner was going to be used by that worthless mongrel for their vile deeds?!

'Don't mess with me!' She couldn't hold in her reign of fury any longer, 'Like hell I'll let that happen!'

It was at this moment, that something broke inside of Artoria. She felt once again, the feeling that had risen in her chest, the first time she learned her beloved partner, her Excalibur was broken by these heathens.

Hatred. Pure, unadulterated hatred spreading throughout her mind. Every avenue of logic was blocked, every rational thought leaving her. All that was left was one thought, the instinct she had always relied on, and any thoughts which were involved in aiding her in battle. All she wanted was to kill the person who caused her this pain. To make the person learn their mistake. To make them suffer.

She plunged her radiating Rhongomyniad in the ground and walked towards Kiba and Xenovia.

'This... has to end now.' She steeled her resolve and moved forward, for she was about make one the most important decisions of her life, 'I can't... I won't allow any more innocent soul to suffer for my mistakes.'

".... sword of heresy."

"Then allow me to do it." Everyone looked at Artoria with shock filled eyes as she walked past between Kiba and Xenovia, "I'll destroy that fake Excalibur."

"Artoria-san please, you don't understand." Kiba said a hardened gaze, "This has nothing to do with you. This is my story to finish."

"No." Artoria stared back at Kiba, not backing down, "YOU don't understand, this.... has everything to do with me."

Her gaze fixed upon Kiba, whose resolve wavered under her piercing stare.

"Kiba Yuuto, I understand the pain and hatred you carry from the Holy Sword Project. The Excalibur.... fragments of the legendary sword, were created to protect and uplift humanity, not to be instruments of suffering and revenge." She said with authority and confidence in her voice, "You, who sought to destroy them, have tarnished their true purpose."

Artoria's eyes then shifted to Xenovia. "Xenovia, you, who once sought Excalibur, must recognize the true essence of these. They are symbols of divine grace and human potential. To use them merely as tools of destruction is to insult the ideals they were meant to uphold."

Turning her attention to Kokabiel, Freed, and Valper, Artoria's expression hardened. "Kokabiel, your thirst for chaos and war is a perversion of what these holy relics represent. You sought to use Excalibur to incite conflict and despair, undermining the very hope it was meant to inspire."

Her gaze bore into Freed, whose mad grin faltered. "Freed Sellzen, your desecration of the Excalibur fragments with your bloodlust and madness is an affront to the sacred purpose they serve. You have treated a beacon of hope as nothing more than a plaything for your twisted desires."

Finally, Artoria's eyes settled on Valper Galilei. "Valper, your experimentation and manipulation of Excalibur for your selfish ambitions have only brought suffering and chaos. You have ignored the promise of victory it was meant to bring, and instead, turned it into a symbol of your own corruption."
